<strong>Beacon</strong> <strong>Parish</strong> Christmas Card<br />
<strong>The</strong> children at St Margaret's Church <strong>of</strong> England Primary School have once again<br />
been asked to submit artwork for the <strong>Beacon</strong> <strong>Parish</strong> Christmas Card, which will<br />
be distributed to all homes in the <strong>Beacon</strong> <strong>Parish</strong> in early <strong>December</strong>. This year’s<br />
theme is ‘Christmas Trees’ but the children were asked to include some part <strong>of</strong><br />
the story <strong>of</strong> Jesus’ birth such as Jesus, Mary, Joseph, angels, shepherds, kings etc.<br />
A large number <strong>of</strong> entries were submitted from children aged from 4 to 10 and<br />
were <strong>of</strong> a high quality making it difficult to choose the one to be on the front <strong>of</strong><br />
the Christmas Card. <strong>The</strong> winner was submitted by Iris Slater, age 7. <strong>The</strong> runner<br />
up was by Kira Showk, age 7.<br />
Some <strong>of</strong> the entries are shown on the front cover <strong>of</strong> the magazine and more can<br />
be seen on the website at www.beaconparishes.org/gallery. <strong>The</strong> runner up is<br />
the top left pictre on the front cover. To see the winner you will have to wait for<br />
your Christmas Card to arrive.<br />
